Tied To Me

5 - Behind the bar

Saturday, 21st January 2017

Today, I've slept like a baby. Ezra and I slept together in his bed, since we wanted to cuddle a little bit. The last night's events completely smashed down onto me as soon as I opened my eyes this morning, still not believing how such a nice, sweet guy like Sid could be so stupid to force himself onto me. I guess I really don't know him. But an hour later, with Ezra keeping me occupied, I completely forgot about everything.

But now I remembered, again. I am getting ready for work and all I can think about is if I'll see Sid at the club. I sure hope not. Not only will that be awkward, but I'll be thinking about him being there the entire time. I will not be able to work at all with him clouding my mind the entire time.

I put the lipstick back into my makeup bag and zip it closed before putting it on the shelf, where I keep all my makeup. Yes, I have quite a lot of makeup shit, but I don't even use half of it. I love makeup and the effect it has, but I am not a fan of wearing it. Yes, I am weird.

I go back into my room to put on the new high heels, which I bought the other week. Ezra is already waiting for me, so I hurry. I put on my coat and Ezra locks the door after.

"Do you think Sid will be there?" I ask Ezra during the walk.

"I don't know." He sighs. "Maybe he'll want to talk to you about yesterday."

"I don't want him to talk to me." I whine like a little girl and pout. My hair, which I haven't put in a ponytail today, is flying all around me due to the wind, which got a bit strong today.

"If I see him even try to walk towards you, I'll punch him in the face." Ezra reassures me and I smile up at him in appreciation.

We finally arrive at work after 10 minutes. I take off my coat and put it in my locker along with my purse. I lock it and follow Ezra out and to the club. The music is, shocker, too loud and it makes my ears bleed. The dance floor is surprisingly full tonight. It is never this full.

"Aurora!" Boss calls my name as soon as I reach the bar. What does he want now? "You're working behind the bar tonight, because Ester got sick." I nod, not complaining at all. I prefer not running all over the place to get orders and such.

I step behind the counter, glad to be with Ezra. "Guess who's joining you today?" I bump my hip with Ezra's and I see he immediately got happy about it.

"That's great, but there's a whole line of people who need drinks," He points to the people sitting at a bar. "Get to it." He pinches my ass and I squeal a little.

For the next three hours, I kept working nonstop, mixing drinks, watching people gulp them down and washing the glasses. I don't mind, though. I am having quite fun with Ezra constantly teasing me.

How can he make work fun, I have no idea.

"Miss! One a glass of tequila, please!" A man calls from my right. I get to work right away, making him the drink.

"There you go!" I yell over the music and pass him the shot glass. "Dean?" I recognize the long curly hair, which belong to my savior.

"Aurora?" I nod my head. "You work here?"

"Yeah," I smile. "Are you here alone?" I take his money and give him the change.

"Nah, this," He places a hand on a boy, who's sitting next to him, but is talking to some girl. As soon as he feels Dean touch him, he turns away from the girl. "This is Jason." I smile at the sandy blonde haired boy, whose arms are filled with tattoos. He extends his hand and shakes mine.
